Chapter 192: Black Dragon
Black Dragon 2 and Key to Destiny have a similar theme - put a person in a specific environment, and that person will change with the environment.
It's just that the latter is about a man who has come out of the darkness,
And the former is about a sunny man who gradually dyes black...
Guan Chen watched the first "Black Dragon: War Dragon in the Wild". The actor Xiaoguang is a simple and simple young man, who lives with his master, has a simple heart, opens his mind late, and has an excellent talent for martial arts, but in other respects it is a piece of wood, it is still wet, and the firewood can't be lit. One day in the middle of the night, when he heard the widow next door moaning in pain, he hurriedly woke up the master, pointed outside, and said in horror that he had killed someone. Then he put on a bamboo knife and wanted to save people. As a result, of course, he was stopped by the master in anger and slapped his head. Even if he later learned about physiology in the book, he still didn't understand why so many people still pursued it so cruelly when things between men and women were so cruel.
Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. A simple person like the actor is a minority.
The darkness of the first part, although confined to one village and one county, is more primitive. The brilliance of the rule of law in this land is often overshadowed by the voice of the clan.
Xiaoguang found that the "crazy woman" in the village was missing one day. The "crazy woman" is the wife of the eldest son of the village, who rarely goes out, and the children in the village have been told not to approach since childhood. Xiaoguang asked curiously, and learned that he was dead, but how he died, the villagers were evasive in their language, only saying that they died of accidental illness, and they did not want to disclose more. A few days later, a middle-aged man and woman came from the city to the village, looking for the "crazy woman". But no one in the village said they knew, and no one said that the madwoman was dead. Just as the middle-aged man and woman were about to leave the village in disappointment, Xiaoguang told him that the person they were looking for was indeed here.
However, from this day on, the villagers who were usually kind and angry in the past suddenly became strange to Xiaoguang.
Everyone originally wished that the middle-aged couple would leave quickly, but now they were so enthusiastic that they didn't let them go. Not only that, but they also want to make the middle-aged couple disappear, just like when the "crazy woman" died unexpectedly.
The only person in the whole village who is willing to help Xiaoguang is his best friend, an idle gangster in the village, who is also the other protagonist of the movie.
The dead friend overheard the information and ran to tell Xiaoguang overnight, and finally the two decided to escort the middle-aged couple out of the village.
After that, it's a fight.
Xiaoguang uses the martial arts he has learned to punish evil and promote good.
Along the way, after beating the village tyrant and beating the ruffian, after beating the ruffian and beating the evil police.
On the way, Xiaoguang and his friends gradually learn that the "crazy woman" was abducted and trafficked to the village. The reason why the villagers concealed it was not only because they were afraid of the power of the village chief, but also because there were several daughters-in-law who "picked up" the village like "crazy women".
The middle-aged couple left for the city and handed over a series of evidence to the police about the crime of "cannibalism" in the village, and finally the party's glory shone on this ignorant village.
The plot is not complicated, and the literary and martial arts dramas are also of an ordinary level.
A year ago, Guan Chen watched such a movie to sneer from his nose. But a year later, after working as an actor, a martial arts instructor, and a producer, he can already enjoy movies from different perspectives.
The acting skills of the two protagonists are still sparse......
The martial arts design is still outrageous......
However, from the producer's point of view, Guan Chen has changed his opinion of this movie, which he disliked at the beginning.
He began to understand that martial arts genre films can only be dynamic if they are closely integrated with social life, and if they are just fighting around, such a movie will not go far at all, let alone sweep the world.
Popcorn movies like "Black Dragon 1" look extremely mediocre at first glance, but after careful analysis, it is found that there are not only themes in it, but also carry literacy functions, promote universal values, and finally have ideological output.
Such a movie may not be able to earn hundreds of millions at the box office, but after its release, if some young people in the countryside return to the village after watching the movie and find that there is still this kind of "cannibalism" in the surrounding area, they may hesitate to help the "crazy woman". may still be afraid of all kinds of retribution in reality in the end, but with that moment of "struggle", it means that the movie was not shot in vain.
Guan Chen was even a little envious, if he could make such a popcorn movie, it would be worth doing a lot of good deeds a day!
Guan Chen recalled the plot of the first part, and then focused on "Black Dragon 2: Dragon Warriors" on the screen.
The first part has two male protagonists, Xiaoguang and his best friend, but the "double" in the title of the second part does not represent the two of them.
Because the best friend died at the beginning of the film.
In the first part, the dead party is a little hooligan who wanders around the village, with a little brain, and a little kung fu, after he mixes into a club in the city, he is also a professional counterpart, and the platform is upgraded. It's just that he once held a bat and could fight back and forth with a group of village tyrants, but he was put down by two moves.
The first move is a sneak attack, which pierces the kidneys from behind, making it impossible for people to gather strength and run away.
The second move is a killer move, close to the back dagger and stabbing horizontally, the blade through the ribs and straight through the heart.
It's all expert approach.
This is Guan Chen's suggestion designed and given to the director. The assassination of the real gangsters, without you coming and going, make up your mind to kill you, there are ways, and the most labor-saving of them is naturally a sneak attack, silently, and will not give you a chance to run away, and the murderers who are sent to carry out the task are murderers with blood on their hands. Crisp and sharp. After killing people, they must know how to disappear, avoid cameras along the way, burn their original clothes, put the murder weapon in a bag with stones, and then throw it into the river.
In the movie, the killer walked away with one blow, his pace was unhurried, and he was extremely calm, and he couldn't tell that he had killed someone casually just now.
The whole process takes only five seconds.
The camera never gave the right face.
The audience didn't know why the dead friend was assassinated, and the dead friend on the screen didn't know it himself. He clutched his chest, his eyes full of doubts, some for the killer and some for fate, as if he was about to stop here before he had time to display his talent, and he was very unwilling.
This death directly set the tone for "Black Dragon 2".
At the beginning, there were only petty fights in the village, and the darkness that happened in the city was more deadly, and there was no lower limit.
As the die-hard friend took his last breath, the title and the list of creators began to appear.
In the background music, which is sometimes hurried and sometimes melodious, the camera begins to travel through the big city.
The camera sweeps over the high-rise buildings, which symbolize the prosperity of the city at night, and the giant billboards hanging outside, the advertisements and stars on them are exquisite and beautiful.
But the next shot shows a group of workers wearing hard hats, striking for wages in the half-built construction site, and then a gang of thugs fiercely rushed out, ripped off the banners asking for wages, and beat the workers who fell to the ground.
The picture shows a lively spot in the city, Chinese, foreigners, black hair, blonde hair, brown hair, people mistakenly think it is a propaganda advertisement.
But the picture flickered, a certain tour group car, driven to the middle of the road was stopped by the driver, after the door opened, a person with a fierce face came up, and asked the tourists one by one for "ticket fees", which is equivalent to robbery in disguise. If some tourists are stubborn and refuse to pay, their lives are worry-free, but they will be abandoned in the barren mountains and mountains, and they will bear their own life.
The same is true for the subsequent shots, first showing you the beautiful shots, and then showing you the corners of these beautiful pictures, the darkness that breeds.
The light of the city is dark, intertwined and appears.
Guan Chen was a little surprised, this idea came out at once, these are not in the script, I didn't expect the effect to be like this, it is completely the embodiment of the director's personal ability.
I really underestimated that guy. Guan Chen felt that he had to add a point to the black director.
After the end of the film, the actor Xiaoguang finally appeared on the stage with a large bag and a small bag.
Xiaoguang's eyebrows are still innocent, and his temperament is still sunny. But his face is more mature than before, which makes people understand that some time has passed since the first part.
Xiaoguang came out of the village and was admitted to the university in the city. Coming from the countryside, he feels new to everything. He has a simple personality, and he quickly played with his classmates after entering the school for a while. In addition to studying seriously, he also actively participates in club activities, watches movies, plays kickball, learns ballroom dancing in elective courses, and enjoys college life. He is no longer the stunned young man who didn't know anything except martial arts.
A few sets of simple shots took Xiaoguang's campus life with the taste of youth.
Guan Chen has been tempered by the anti-marriage short film "Mango", and now when he sees these pictures, all he thinks about is how much it costs to build these scenes, and how many extras need to be invited to shoot such a feeling. Just by virtue of the rabble in "Black Dragon", Guan Chen felt that he had underestimated everyone before.
Maybe a few more people can be poached...... Putting his thoughts aside, Guan Chen continued to watch the movie.
A few years ago, Xiaoguang only had a quick glimpse of the dark side of society. However, that glimpse left a mark on him after all. He majored in sociology, and he has several books on human trafficking on his desk.
He occasionally cares about the current situation on the side of his dead friend, but he always can't get through when he calls him several times. It wasn't until someone from his hometown called that Xiaoguang suddenly learned the news of his dead friend. The police said it was missing, but Xiaoguang didn't believe it.
In addition to the experience of growing up together, Xiaoguang and his dead friend also have a lifelong friendship, and now the dead friend may be in trouble, and Xiao Guang can't ignore it.
According to the only clues, Xiaoguang embarked on a search path. He first went to the bar where his friends used to frequent, and asked the fox friends for news. The bar is not open during the day, and the whole environment is dark and gloomy. The air was mixed with the smell of alcohol and cigarettes, and Xiaoguang, who had never been to the bar before, wrinkled his nose and felt a little uncomfortable.
The waiter is sweeping the floor. A few green-skinned gangsters watching the scene lay on the booths and fell asleep.
Xiaoguang first asked the waiter if he had seen his best friend, and the waiter said no. Xiaoguang turned to look for Qingpi. Qingpi was suddenly woken up, full of impatience, and when he got up, he looked at Xiaoguang's white and pure face, and the student's spirit full of the words "let others slaughter", no matter what Xiaoguang said, Qingpi shouted [Why are you looking for death? ], hit the small light with his chest.
Xiaoguang has no interest in clinging to the man's chest muscles (nor with a woman), so he pinched Qingpi's shoulder, took it, destroyed the center of gravity, and pushed it again, and staggered back to the sofa.
Qingpi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up several other Qingpi. Thinking that the smashing field was coming, he hurriedly surrounded the small light group.
Xiaoguang is very nerve-wracking, but he also knows that he can't avoid a fight. He didn't want to hurt people's lives, so he only used wrestling techniques to let Qingpi lie down a few. It will fall within three moves.
Xiaoguang shows the first fighting technique in street combat - Huaxia wrestling.
Designed by Guan Chen.
In the eyes of wrestlers, a person who has never practiced wrestling is no different from a piece of talking meat.
Soon a bunch of people lay on the ground in resentment, but they did not rush up again.
Guan Chen didn't understand at first, but he just got up and continued when he fell. When designing the action of this scene, Guan Chen thought that the first reaction of the green skins after being deflated must be to take out the knife. Just like animals, they show their minions when they are threatened. Even if you don't carry a knife, in a place like a bar, there are many weapons, and as soon as you smash the bottle, you can poke you with a pointed glass. After the conflict escalates, Xiaoguang can show some of the more ferocious moves in the throwing method, such as falling across the bridge, using it on the street, and either death or cripple.
But Master Cai said no, there are still martial arts rules on the road here - put you down, it means that there is a big gap between you and me, if you get up again, then I will be killed. If you don't want to die, you continue to lie down.
Moreover, the legitimate defense of Huaxia here is not as difficult to judge as in the previous life, as long as the gangsters take a knife, then they will kill themselves next. If you know that your skills are not as good as others and still hold a knife, it is equivalent to giving the opponent a knife, which is very dangerous. If you come out to commit a crime, if you have no brains, you will either die early, or you will eat in prison, just like the survival of the fittest in biology.
So looking at the green skins on the screen, being thrown around by Xiaoguang in the open space of the bar, Guan Chen actually saw a little bit of the feeling of "Judo Dragon and Tiger List".
Xiaoguang subdued the green skins, and Qingpi was willing to listen to what Xiaoguang planned to do. Xiaoguang had to repeat what he had already said seven or eight times. He said he was looking for someone, looking for his old friend.
The green skins found out that they were not sent by the other family to seek revenge, so they relaxed, got up and shouted Guangge, wanting to invite Xiaoguang to drink. Xiaoguang refused to go along with the dirt, just to find out the news. Qingpi is just you and I say a word, gossiping that the dead friend has not been to the bar for a long time, some people say, it is said that it was done by the other family, and some people say that the last time I saw someone, it was in an underground gambling stall.
Xiaoguang returned to the school dormitory with the information he had gained. The roommate hadn't seen him for a day and was concerned about what he was doing, Xiaoguang smiled and said that he had gone to see his old friend. The next day of class, Xiaoguang pondered about the affairs of his dead friend and finished the class absentmindedly. Before leaving for the night, he left a note to ask his roommate to call the police in case he couldn't come back.
The gambling stall where Xiaoguang went first was hidden on the upper floor of a farmhouse restaurant in the suburbs, which was very hidden.
Gambling is prohibited in China, so the decoration of the underground gambling stalls is naturally not as luxurious as the corrupt United States, it is necessary to fight guerrilla warfare with the police, and the venue can be abandoned at any time, so there is no need to waste effort on the decoration, and the real meal is a table for people to play gambling, and it doesn't matter if the decoration is in line with consumer psychology. From mahjong, to poker, from spinning, to dice, from fishing machines, to slot machines...... Both East and West, there are.
Xiaoguang walked into the dining hall on the first floor and wanted to go to the second floor, but was stopped. He said the code that the bar green skin told him before he was allowed to go upstairs. As soon as I pushed the door open, I was greeted by a noisy noise, and there were faces full of desire in front of me.
Xiaoguang was out of place here, and was immediately noticed, suspecting that it was a strip, and immediately invited him to the office to control him.
Xiaoguang explained his intention and asked where the dead friend was. Unexpectedly, the person in charge of the gambling stall wanted to know more than him. Because the dead friend owed a lot of money here, he said that he would go out to get money, but after a few days, the person disappeared directly, and the people in the gambling stall were also looking for him, but they didn't find it.
The reason why the gambling stall told Xiaoguang the truth was not because of kindness, but because he wanted to transfer the debt to Xiaoguang.
[You and he are good brothers, you either tell me where he is, or you help him pay off this debt.] The person in charge gave Xiaoguang two choices.
Xiaoguang looked back at the exit, he was blocked, if he didn't choose, he shouldn't be able to leave.
But he didn't want to choose any of them.
So it's another battle.
Different from petty fights in bars, the thugs in the gambling stalls have at least learned a little martial arts and are practicing their families.
Opening a gambling stall is to recklessly collect money on the charge, either someone behind it has no fear, or make up your mind to compete with the police for time, no matter what, in short, he is already a professional criminal.
Several thugs took out knives and forced Xiaoguang to get acquainted. Judging by their expressions, they really dare to stab people with knives.
In this case, if Xiaoguang only uses wrestling with his bare hands, it will not be enough.
Xiaoguang glanced at the position between the thugs, and then looked at the person in charge who was hidden by the wall, and was silent for a second, and he suddenly struck first.
Xiaoguang kicked a forward kick, first kicking a thug to the ground, then stepped forward to grab the knife and quickly turned around.
A renewed standoff.
The person in charge did not watch the protagonist kill everywhere like in ordinary movies. There was no hesitation, it was clear that the thugs in the room had not died yet, so the person in charge took advantage of the large number of people and immediately began to call people. Very discreet.
Then outside the room, the thugs divided their staff, half of them came to support, and the other half began to guard the movement outside the building, worried about what action should be taken from inside and outside. Of course, it is inevitable to call people, and the thugs have a set of guidelines on how to deal with various crises.
These are Guan Chen's personal experiences. He has seen the scene for the gambling stalls, and through the movie, he showed what is called the profession of criminals.
And under the influence of Guan Chen, those tricks are not like in ordinary movies, just stunned to watch the protagonist beat their accomplices.
Generally speaking, Xiaoguang is definitely going to die here.
It's a pity that this is a movie, it's a movie, Xie Jinzhu has repeatedly emphasized "Be handsome!" Films.
In the room, Xiaoguang was surrounded by people, and his expression was only a little more solemn, and there was no despair at all.
A group of people rushed towards Xiaoguang in no particular order, and Xiaoguang took a dagger and began to perform.
Guan Chen began to review the homework.
Although Xie Jinzhu, Director Hei, Master Cai and a group of actors all think that playing handsome is over. But Guan Chen still wants to be worthy of that salary, try to be handsome, and make the fight as reasonable as possible.
The ring matches are one-on-one, where both sides are of equal weight, holding the same weapon or not holding a weapon, but in situations that may be encountered in real battles, the battles are often unequal.
In the case of multi-person melee, especially when there are many enemies, the most important thing is control and counter-control.
The idea of holding back and punching hard is wrong.
Although a heavy punch and a whip kick can knock people out on the head or chin. But in a dogfight, you have to be able to hit someone. Even if you hit someone and the opponent falls, you can't control your strength, and you will be beaten to death by other opponents.
Guan Chen took his own experience of killing dozens of people as an example, and only a fast, broken, and dense attack mode can increase the chance of survival.
It doesn't matter if the force is lighter, because the weapon can compensate for the strength that is sacrificed. With a knife in his hand, he can abolish a person with a single stroke.
So as soon as the fight started, Xiaoguang hid in the narrow aisle between the sofa and the desk, trying his best to avoid being controlled by others.
When someone stretched out his hand to wrap around him, he cut his wrist and tendon.
If someone came to hug him, he would really kill him and poke him in the neck.
Under the protection of legitimate defense, he can leave no stone unturned.
Unlike the deliberate movement of wrestling, the striking fighting techniques displayed by Hikari are the essence of pace. Tossing and turning, dodging and diving.
In fact, this kind of high-intensity battle is extremely wasteful of physical strength, but it is still the same sentence, and Shuai is finished.
Therefore, Xiaoguang killed through the entire gambling stall, and only took a few deep breaths.
Xiaoguang walked to the person in charge of the gambling stall hiding in the corner, and the person in charge was already scared, and hurriedly told Xiaoguang that his dead friend should be going to get money. The reason why there is no news now, either it has run away, or in the process of getting money, it is in danger. After all, people like them want to make quick money, the way is not right, and it is full of risks......
Since the gambling stall dares to lend money to gamblers, there must be a set of methods to ensure that they do not lose money in the end.
For example, let gamblers drag the people around them into the water to gamble, and they will share as much as they want.
Another example is to have a gambler go somewhere, assist in a crime, deliver some contraband, or steal something.
If you are more cruel, recycle the gambler's organs and resell them.
Xiaoguang listened to the "paths" said by the person in charge, and finally touched more of the dark side of society.
These are even bloodier darknesses than "rural trafficking in women".
Just listening, Xiaoguang's body was filled with a chill.
Where did you introduce him before? Xiaoguang asked through gritted teeth.
His hatred is not only that he hates that these societies have such dregs, and they are living nourishingly.
What he was afraid of was that the sworn friend who did justice with him at the beginning might sink in the mire and be dyed black.
Faced with Xiaoguang's question, the person in charge said a place.
is a place for people to provide x services.
